Project description

Python library to read/write Apple Passbook (.pkpass) files

Typical usage often looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from passbook.models import Pass, Barcode, StoreCard

cardInfo = StoreCard()
cardInfo.addPrimaryField('name', 'John Doe', 'Name')

organizationName = 'Your organization'
passTypeIdentifier = 'pass.com.your.organization'
teamIdentifier = 'AGK5BZEN3E'

passfile = Pass(cardInfo, \
    passTypeIdentifier=passTypeIdentifier, \
    organizationName=organizationName, \
    teamIdentifier=teamIdentifier)
passfile.serialNumber = '1234567'
passfile.barcode = Barcode(message = 'Barcode message')
passfile.addFile('icon.png', open('images/icon.png', 'r'))
passfile.addFile('logo.png', open('images/logo.png', 'r'))
passfile.create('certificate.pem', 'key.pem', 'wwdr.pem', '123456', 'test.pkpass') # Create and output the Passbook file (.pkpass)
